Carlos Martinez Placed On Injured List Tuesday
Carlos Martinez (ankle) on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, right-hander Johan Oviedo was recalled from Triple-A Memphis. Martinez is 3-4 on the season with a 4.35 ERA in seven starts this year, and he's limited the opposition to a .219 batting average and just two home runs. Oviedo has appeared in three games (two starts) for the Red Birds in 2021. The rookie threw 48 pitches over 2 2/3 innings in a start for Memphis this past Sunday. Martinez, 29, tweaked his right ankle while celebrating Jack Flaherty's home run last Friday, but there's a chance that he's forced to miss only one start. His injury helps explain his lack of control (two strikeouts, five walks) in his latest start.
